The editors didn't like
I can't believe Apple shipped this product with such a confusing interface. Sure hope it isn't hard to fix
Why the heck doesn't the home button take you straight home
Like it does in iOS?

Why does the screen shut off when
Doesn't do enough to the main app interface
Native apps slow to arrive
Autosensing for ending some workouts is too aggressive
LTE available only on stainless steel models
Settings like Theater Mode still don't mirror between iPhone and Apple Watch
Battery life not good enough for back country use
Fitness sensors are only tuned for cardio
Watch OS is tricky to learn and the Apple Watch app can be flaky
Several actions
Including pulling up Glances
Opening apps
Or scrolling through emoji
Are consistently slow
Drawing
Tapping
And heartbeat-sending features are gimmicky
Pricing is rea
Many people say the Watch is too expensive
But I don't think the Watch Sport is too expensive for what it can do
Possibly an option online for either black or chrome loops for the Nylon & leather bands for all bands
ECG app isn't available yet
WatchOS 5 drops support for Series 0 devices
New complications are only compatible with new watch faces
Still no support for third-party watch faces
Still no native sleep tracking
Siri has trouble completing Shortcuts
It requires significant tech-savviness
May not replace your current fitness tracker
Thirdparty app and Glance performance is slow
Managing settings on iPhone can get tedious
Sluggish third party apps
Battery only lasts a little more than a day. Most models and configurations cost more than they should. Requires an iPhone to work. Interface can be confusing. Many apps load slowly. Lacks built-in GPS
Takes time to learn interface
Time isn't always displayed
Can be sluggish to update apps
No GPS
It's fun
Trendy and actually useful
But is that enough to get you onboard
No way to hide built-in apps from the home screen
Many apps and glances are slow to load
Higher priced versions only differ in build materials
Screen is reflective and shows fingerprints easily
Third party apps are slow and buggy
Integrated speaker for phone calls is rather weak
Customization of watch face is limited in current firmware
Display not alwayson
Not fully water resistant
Battery life good
Not great
Expensive
Battery life remains unchanged
No built-in sleep tracking
Starting prices are higher than last year. Battery life still won't last past two days. Watch face options are still very limited in choice and function. Only works with iPhones
Shorter battery life than competitors
Siri still fails
Design is OK but there are other more attractive smartwatches
Phone calls are manageable but speaker could be louder. Finally price point is set high and doesn't even include some sort of charging dock
WatchOS is awkward
Unresponsive apps
The price jumped up a lot
Still very expensive
No third-party faces
Confusing and inconsistent UI
Few decent apps
Notifications can cause madness
Managing them burdensome
Limited nature compared to iOS devices will make device feel like unnecessary toy to some. Users might find price too high when compared to other wearables. Requires Bluetooth connection to iPhone for most features. Overall speed is lacking — it takes abo
Doesn't excel at much else
Most thirdparty apps are too barebones and illfitting for the device
Display is not superbright
No true waterproofing
Lack of GPS
Battery life is still an issue
A lot more expensive than most other smartwatches
Tough to use for phone calls
Expensive device
Expensive accessories
Interface needs honing
Tinny
Quiet speakerphone
Only average sunlight readability
Conclusion
How you feel about the Apple Watch will depend entirely upon how you feel about wearables as a whole. Every time
Lacks swim-ready water resistance and onboard GPS found in Series 2 models. Only comes in aluminum models
Siri is still unreliable
No always-on screen option
Complication options can be confusing
Low battery life
Slow at times
A rather steep learning curve
Some features are less intuitive
Siri still falls short
Pricey and only works with iPhones
Siri is still not great
Automatic workout detection is a hit and miss
No alwayson display option
No way to see individual activity summary on the watch
No native sleep tracking
Battery life is so-so
Few physical buttons
Battery life could be better
Third-party apps can feel sluggish
Some users will crave more control over notification settings
